Until Fawad Khan confirms his next Bollywood venture, it appears that the rumour mill will not come to a rest.

The latest on the grapevine is that he has bagged a role in another Karan Johar film, and this time it's a solo hero project.

The part was initially offered to his Kapoor & Sons co-star Siddharth Malhotra, reports Mid-Day.

According to a source, "Initially, Sidharth Malhotra was being considered for the role. But, later, Karan approached Fawad and he immediately agreed to be part of it. He fits the bill and this film will mark his first solo hero outing in Bollywood."

Fawad, who will make a brief appearance in KJo's upcoming Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, enjoys a great relationship with the career-making producer.

Another source said, "The filmmaker-actor jodi is willing to collaborate on more films since they share a good rapport. They have been spotted together on numerous occasions and have discussed few ideas as well as scripts. Fawad recently signed a film after he liked the script."

An official announcement is likely to be made once Karan finalises the lead actress and the director.

Dear Fawad, Please go back and enrich your dwindling film industry, also if possible take along the other Pakistan actors with you. We have no dearth of talent in our country.

@Tamil tum nahi samjho ge mere dost. Indian women are crazy for Fawad Khan. They want him in Bollywood and that's the reason why Bollywood is wooing Fawad. It's pure business and business is not run on nationalistic sentiments.

I think it's wonderful that the film and music industry are not blinded or influenced by race, religion or the likes. Art has no nationality, religion, race it is rises above all and we certainly need that in the world we live in today. I am a fan of Fawad and Atif and so many other artists from across the border. I don't consider Pakistan, Bangladesh , Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, Sri Lanka as any different from India, we all share the same beginnings, culture and traditions. We welcome the talent you bring and look forward to more. @ Tamil-you should be ashamed of your narrow views. Come out if the box you are in.

@Lakshmi dear, The point I wish to make here is, it is the Indian Film industry and it should for Indians. Personally I don't have anything against this guy, he might be a good actor but I rarely watch Hindi films as I understand very little hindi. Even If ypu do not understand my point of view it's okay with me.

@Blue Chip Rarely does any Indian woman know his name. But from the looks of it, Karan Johar is clearly smitten by him.

@Tamil Unfortunately Bollywood today for Pakistani actors is just like Hollywood for Indian actors. Why don't you ask your desperate Indian actors not to think about going to Hollywood... At the end it's just about money, fame and business.

I am an Indian woman. I don't care for Fawad at all. In fact he is quite annoying. He , along with other Pakistanis should go back to their country. There are more handsome and talented artists in India. The Indian artists should be given opportunities.

Really speaking all pakistni actors and sportsperson are promoted by pakistani newspapers and majority of Indian public do not welcome them. It is a reallity whether like it or not. May be the reason being the stressful relations both countries have for past 60 year. All pakistani actors are getting small role in our industry to get small pakistani market and nothing beyond. I heard our hindi movies are very popular in pakistan then their own pakistani movies. Sorry but it is a fact
